Hey there buddy, did you get lost on your way to Black? I'm not sure if you should be here in Red, given that you're a grotesque abomination.

I'm a big fan of this guy's creature type. It's almost like he's part of a super-villain team.

Combos with Painter's Servant. Combos even further with Living Plane and then even more with Thornbite Staff. All your creatures and lands are now dead. + Opalescence, So hey, every permanent you have is pretty much dead always. Ummm. Now what?

Feeds on merfolk...

With the rise of all the merfolk decks, this old critter suddenly wipes off all of his dust and stands very tall. Not to mention the 3 cmc is a huge advantage to avoid the staple blue counter spells; mentalmisstep & spellsnare. Also, no mana or any other set back for eating a blue creature... just tap. If this doesn't get countered, well its pretty much gg for merfolk decks... On a side note... The new animator decks depend heavily upon Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur <<< that isn't a user frinedly card to Auto-Card =x

5/5 for the such...

Other then the mentioned above... here is a little combo you could run;
add fylamarid and now tap 1 blue mana & tap spinal to kill any target creature. Both beast creature type, and both being 3cmc may just cause these critters to cause a little bit of an eye opener. You can also add Jaya Ballard, Task Mage and your ability to wipe out creatures is becoming quite impressive. Not to mention, red & blue combined offer a good variety of spells to fight back against almost any opposing deck. Counter + Burn.

3.5/5 for the such...

Anson Maddocks' art is impressive on this villain! It almost looks like a Barsoomian apt. Magic needs more weird, unclassifiable creatures. Of course, this looks more Black than Red...
